Arsene Wenger has pushed back the announcement of Mohamed Elneny’s transfer to Arsenal.

The Gunners boss had previously said that the deal would be completed by today but in his press conference ahead of the Liverpool game he claimed that the deal would likely be done later this week instead.

‘I think this week we are positive it can happen,’ he said.

‘We hope we can finalise it this week.

‘As long as it’s not definitely signed, you have to be cautious. But I’m optimistic.’
